British people worst at learning foreign languages?

Did you know the British (mainly the English) are worst at learning Foreign languages?

I didn’t know this until recently. Even me as a Brit. Learning, understanding & speaking foreign language (any language) is always difficult but it is also worth a choice in order to break down the barrier.

Even if any person understand the basics of any Foreign language. That’s why it’s worth interesting if anyone can learn Foregin language to avoid having language barriers (the language barrier when person is not familiar with the language). πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¨πŸ‡³πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅πŸ‡³πŸ‡±πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

“62% of people surveyed can’t speak any other language apart from English.”
“38% of Britons speak at least one foreign language, 18% speak two and only 6% of the population speak three or more.”

Mostly learning to speak language is done in school curriculum (including secondary/high schools). When school pupils (students) learn to speak foreign language in the UK are mostly French, Spanish, German and Chinese Mandarin. Sometime other languages. So that probably explains why Brits prefer not to learn & speak languages.

For me on my personal experience, I had learned 2 languages (two European languages) when I was in high/secondary school. French and Spanish πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊEven it’s not easy to speak & understand the language, it’s worth having a knowledge to communicate in any foreign language. I am managing my best to learn Portuguese now. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΉπŸ˜€πŸ™‚ I am always willing to give a go & try to master the language by memorising the key words in any language (French, Spanish or any other language).
